Herbert Rothschild, a local newspaper columnist (Ashland.news) and community leader, will join the Jefferson Center for a discussion of Christian Nationalism and Responses to It on Sunday, October 20th from 4 to 6 pm at The Jefferson Center, in the Old Ashland Armory.
Christian Nationalism is a political movement based on the belief that the United States is a Christian nation, that real Americans are Christian, and that America has a special relationship with the Christian God. As a result, Christian Nationalists want civil government to privilege Christianity in various ways, including instituting prayer in the public schools and state support for religious schools and other church activities, despite our Constitutional commitment to separation of church and state. Please join us for a spirited discussion of what do we make of this and how do we deal with it?
